Video: Jhameel – “Shadow of a Man”
Holy crap, do I dare say who Jhameel’s new record sounds like? I don’t even have to write it up, you know who I’m talking about.

Jhameel has instantly become one of my favorite musicians.
The video captures Jhameel’s raw emotionality as he watches a loved one crushed under the weight of an abusive relationship. Shadow of a Man was directed, shot, conceptualized, and edited in-house by Jhameel and his team with no outside support or funding, making it a fully independent project. The video was shot amidst the wrecked and abandoned buildings of Salton City, a desolate California ghost town left to decay by its inhabitants in the 1970’s.
If you’d like to see a little more of Jhameel doing his best Michael Jackson impression, check out his very drunk cover of “P.Y.T.”
